PeakFit Challenge: Pure Strength 1

Michelle Dozois
Year Released: 2011

Categories: Total Body Workouts


In this workout, you start with a warm up - strength moves using light weights. Then, you move into a series of sets of exercises by body part, each approximately 5 minutes. First you do back and then you do chest. Then, you do a second round of back and chest exercises. Then, you move on with a legs segment and a arms segment. Then, you do those body parts again.

Some things to note:

1. You need at least a couple of sets of weights and a band.
2. This workout is heavy on moves that support your body weight on your hands.
3. The workout is chaptered so you can skip back and forth between segments.
4. There is a modifier who minimally modifies some moves.
5. The cueing is great in this workout.

I thought it was a good strength workout, but I won't keep it because there's must too much for me to modify with all the moves that are supported on the hands. (I have arthritic hands and that doesn't work for me.

Instructor Comments:
She's explanatory and motivating in this workout. I used the heaviest weights I've used in awhile.
